Lexi finally kicked the bucket and settled down with a blanket AND clothes! One of the girls at work was knitting a scarf and hat for her daughter and showed me how. Spice enjoyed watching my scarf grow. It's almost done now.

Spice at the Weatherspoons
We have had near blizzard conditions this week. Driving to work is a nightmare! But Lexi loves the snow! She wants to step in every snow drift. She puts socks on her hands whenever we go out. I offered her mittens, but she wouldn't let me put them on her.
Spice arrived at our house on Dec. 18th. We had Christmas all set up, so he settled right in. Lexi did morning aerobics with him. Do you like her resistance band? She has very strong 
teeth!
Lexi's Idea of Christmas fashion
Yes, this is a grocery bag. Lexi wanted to show Spice how to recycle.
Visiting Grandma's house
On Sunday night we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Ginger had to work, so her kids were spending the night there. Spice enjoyed drawing with Hyrum, watching Dora' Christmas with Jayden and the girls, reading with Grandma, and all the kids musical performances! Lexi and Lily shared their suckers with Spice. We found out two days later that Lily's cough and hoarseness were croup!

Spice at the Kunic's
We got Spice from Ivy's house where he was hanging out with his friends.
As soon as we got home from Ivy's Addi started to complain of an ear ache. We took her to the doctor and he said she had an ear infection. Spice stayed by her side trying to comfort her.
Spice enjoyed drawing and playing all kinds of games with the kids.
He even helped Tyler fix our chopper after all elves are great at fixing and building things.
When it snowed Rhett and Addi could not wait to go out and play in it. One of the great things about our knew place is that they can go into the back yard and I can watch them through the patio doors. No more cold snowy days that I have to go outside! Anyways of course Spice went with them. It made him feel right at home.

The Berretts and SUGAR!
We were so happy when Sugar arrived except CJ he was disturbed to have ANOTHER girl in the house after all even the cat and dog are girls at our house. He thinks next year we should have Spice.
It was late and the kids decided to find a place for sugar to sleep. They tried the stockings hung by the fireplace , next they tried standing her by the manger scene but it wasn’t very comfortable so she finally settled down on the couch, by the fireplace with a cozy washcloth blanket.
Sugar helped Ashley and Mariah do their piano practicing,
Played a computer games with CJ, and volleyball with Sarah. That was a little painful since she was the item trying to spike the ball.
She also spent time watching TV with the kids and we have to agree with Heather that Backyardagains is one of her favorites, she enjoyed laying in moms cozy bed in the mornings with Rachel and Lizzy.
This year we decided to make Gingerbread houses to give away to some older people in our ward. We told sugar all about it and she was so excited but when it came time to make the houses we couldn’t find her. We had a good time anyway.
Ashley and Cassidy were successful at keeping their house together they turned out beautiful but Sarah, Rachel, and Mariahs houses wouldn’t stay up so they made their own creations (with lots of candy). CJ just ate the candy!!! We kept calling Sugar but she wouldn’t come.
Finally Monday afternoon we found Sugar. She was learning how to dance in our dance room downstairs. She is now an amazing dancer since she spent so much time down there.
Monday night we went to deliver our 2 remaining houses to some elderly neighbors and go caroling. We were glad that Sugar could go with us. She has an amazing voice. She is going to go back to Santa with some new talents. We have all had fun with her and we hope you will all find joy and happiness in your homes this holiday season.
